What is your thought about September 11th 2001?

Question

I know it been about 5 n half years since the 9/11 attacks. I was wondering what is everyone though about it? Question 2: Where were you when the attack happend?
I was at home and I got a phone called telling me to turn on the tv. When I saw the first plane attack the tower I was in shocked.
As a christian it hard to forgive someone who is so evil and have so much hatred to us and want to killed bunch of innocent people. I am christian but I found it extremely hard to forgive those Al Queda people especially Bin Laden. Far as I am concern they should burn in hell. Sorry but that how I feel. One thing that really get to me is children and babies that died in the 9/11 I forgot which plane it was, but I know there was a family the whole entire family members died. Women who's husbands died in the tower or plane crashes that are pregnant that get to me too.

Answer 1

The attacks against America on Sept. 11, 2001 were very sad. I was picking tobacco when I found out. Yet it seems that the American people have learned nothing from the attacks. Instead of adjusting policy in order that similar attacks might be prevented, the US government under G.W. Bush has only further entrenched policies that will likely bring the horror of terrorism back to American soil.

Answer 2

I'm from Canada and I was at work when we got the news
and the first thing that ran through everyones mind was that someone had declared war on the US and we wondered if we would be attacked too. When we got home and started watching the events on TV it was like watching a nightmare that you could not wake up from, or thats how I felt. When we first saw the videos of the plane crashing into the south tower and then the towers collapsing, it made me sick to my stomach.
Not did American died that day, there were people from 79 countries also died including Canadians.
However we should never condemn an entire race for the actions of a few

Answer 3

On that day the United States was attacked by an enemy which hates us and wants us to die. This should not surprise anyone, as this war in one form or another has been going on for about a thousand years. Those who are extreme terrorist zealots want this to continue. They believe in an apocalyptic end to the world and that it is their religious duty to assist in brining such an end about. A list of such terrorist acts can be found at the following site:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_terrorist_incidents#1970s

This warfare will continue increasing in degree of death and depravity until an event occurs which makes 11 September, 2001 pale in comparison. At that time the world will go a long with a retaliation which will bring this to and end over night.

I would much rather see some type of negotiation occur which develops a way we can all live side by side, if not actually together, but I have little hope that such will occur. These are two very different cultures that the extremists of both sides find reasons to not to work things out.

Short of an all out war I would like to see the West develop energy independence from the mid-east. This is easily doable with in the next 10 years, within 5 years if we got real serious about it. When that occurred it would be much easier on the West, but a disaster for the mid-east in that their economies would collapse and they would devolve into internal wars.

Answer 4

It was and is horrific and the images I saw that day will be forever etched on my memory.

I was at home in the UK when it first started and I too got a call from a friend to turn the TV on. I couldn't believe what I was watching - it was like a scene from Thunderbirds.

I am Greek but live in the UK. In Athens and in the UK we regretfully have had years of terrorist activity to live with.

What makes me utterly sick to my core is the indiscriminate nature of these attacks. There is no rationale other than to strike fear into the population, and this will ultimately never succeed as all it does is to harden people's resolve never to give in.

These people try to call themselves soldiers, but they are nothing more than deluded cowards. They may feel brave in taking their own lives, but there is no honour or bravery in killing women, children, and civilian people going about their own business.

I find it hard to condone what Bush and Blair are doing in Iraq, but it is essential that the world as a whole pulls together to prevent this type of thing ever happening and to put these idiots behind bars or, better still, six feet under.

Answer 5

I hate to say this, but it was the most spectacular event in the history of the world. The Hiroshima attack comes a long second because there were far fewer watching it at the time. Same with the great volcanic eruptions.
A pity that these spectacular things are also so terrible.

Answer 6

Firstly, there is NO scripture that teaches that we should forgive ANY person...who has not first asked us for our forgiveness! I want you to think about that the rest of the day. To do so is literally to "throw our pearls to swine". What would be the point to forgive a person who is in no way sorry? To respond (as is so often the case in religious circles nowadays) that we forgive anyway because we put it behind us and are choosing not to hold the bitterness...is just the latest in psycho-babble. The human mind was designed, in fact, to remember the hurts done to us so that we might learn NOT to get into that predicament again.
It is not wrong to feel the way you do. Check out the Psalmist David (whom God called "A man after my own heart") and see how many times he prayed for God to destroy his enemies in various and sundry ways.
For my part, It's a good thing that I have no direct access to terrorists. I would kill them all and let God sort them out!

Answer 7

It was the downfall of Muslims. By a bunch of dumb people who ruined for the rest of peace loving Moslem's. I'm a Muslim and even I resent them all cause of 9/11. These countries are on my **** list:

Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, Lebanon, Syria, and Palestine. All these nations are a bunch of hypocrites. They should all burn in hell.

No only did 9/11 make the world hate Muslims it also gave a green light for Bush and his cronies to exploit the situation.

Answer 8

I was in the hallway of my high school when I first learned of the first plane. I watched the second plane hit the tower minutes later. I commend you for admitting your Christian feelings, especially here. It is hard to forgive the terrorists, and it's impossible to justify the soldiers killing families in Iraq. Everyone is looking for a group to blame, with a finger ready to point. The worst thing is, the terrorists who hit the towers can't be brought to judgement here. God has dealt with them, as He will deal with each of us when it is our time.

Answer 9

In my mind, Sept 11, 2001 defined Islam. Sorry.

Answer 10

i don't have an answer for you. i just wanted to let you know as another person said - i DID NOT support bush before 9/11 ON 9/11 or anytime after. just cuz he made one good speech that someone else wrote does not make a good president. my anger at 9/11 has spread to more anger to have to deal with a war that i don't want my country in.
